The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal. The latest information on symptoms of coronavirus infection and areas where recent travel may have resulted in a high risk of exposure can be found on nhs.uk/conditions/coronaviruscovid-19/

NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service that can tell you if you need medical help and advise you what to do. Use this service if:

• you think you might have coronavirus;

• in the last 14 days you've been to a country or area with a high risk

of coronavirus;

• you've been in close contact with someone with coronavirus.

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Call 111 if you need to speak to someone.

If you're a patient at our practice, you can now use the new NHS App, a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet. For more information go to www.nhs.uk/nhsapp

Welcome

We are a small, friendly surgery based in Malvern Link with a practice population of around 4,650 spread over quite a wide urban and rural area geographically. We pride ourselves on the fact that being a small practice we can offer as personal a service as our resources allow.

We have 3 part-time GPs and the nursing department comprises 3 part-time practice nurses and 1 part-time health care assistant. We have a reception team who run the systems which enable the practice to function efficiently.

The surgery is purpose built, equipped with facilities for the disabled and is easily accessible with good car parking. The surgery is ideal for the requirements of modern family medicine, providing a wide range of services including family planning, health promotion, weight monitoring, child immunisations, travel vaccinations, minor surgery as well as long term chronic disease management.

The practice has been accredited as a GP training practice. This means that we will be having a number of qualified doctors on placement at the practice. All of the doctors will have full registration with the General Medical Council. The placements will normally be for either four or twelve months.

Our current placement commenced with us in August 2019. This doctor, who is in their third year of postgraduate medical education, will be with us for 12 months. The aim of their placement is to give them meaningful experience of general practice and some exposure to community- based teams such as district nurses. It will also help them to understand the relationship between general practice and hospitals.

The doctor will be undertaking a full clinical workload but will be under supervision by one of our existing doctors.

As part of their training, they will need to film some of their consultations. You may be asked for permission to film your consultation. If you are asked and you would prefer for your consultation not to be filmed, please tell the receptionist or the doctor. Declining permission for your consultation to be filmed will not prejudice your care with us. Please be reassured that all recordings are confidential and will be destroyed when they are no longer required.
